Bill posted some good stuff in tools on his fuel system with one, I think. He had one he swears by.
Mike Often wrong, never unsure.

Is there a cheap analog flowmeter? Like the stuff you see on mcmaster, except not ridiculously overpriced? Maybe I'll just weigh the fuel instead.....

Or make one your self , calibrate it with by flowing in a bucket and measure time and weight.

I'm going to go with a calculated flow, since I'm only going to need it for comparisons it should be fine. I'm going to use feeler gauges and test the gap in the infinijector.
